Mayor Steve Tallman is used by Charles Peck as a puppet to serve Peck's intentions for power. The IMF is to stop Peck. Dana poses as a well known provocateur in the student's movement – a dangerous one who might even face arrest. Antiriot officer Barney arrives on the scene, too. His duty is to care that the planned demonstrations next week will not escalate. The leader of the protest movement, Billy Walsh, pays for the release of Dana.

He plans to kill Barney, the governor's representative, who embodies the injustice of the government for him. It is planned that the students seize the Municipal building. Meanwhile, the Mayor learns about his illegitimate daughter – Dana. Paris has told him in order to get money by blackmailing him before the oncoming elections. He says her mother was a beloved friend of him and, when she died, giving birth to Dana, he took the girl and cared for her all the years. Now he wants the situation to pay off. Tallman has him arrested, but Paris manages to escape from his cell, using a tool hidden in his shoe and gets back on Tallman, who now agrees to meet Dana. Dane confronts her natural father with contempt and shows also little respect toward Paris, who tries to calm her down, but is rudely silenced.  

Peck, who is co-working with Walsh and uses him too to maintain his powers, becomes aware of Tallman's situation. He fears his plans to become jeopardized and orders Walsh to kill Dana during the protest actions. Paris poses as Tallman while Tallman is cared for by the IMF during the beginning of the protests and supports Dana as she publicly demands more student involvement in educational affairs – to the astonishment of Peck. Now Peck orders to shoot the Mayor, but is overpowered by Barney, so that Tallman gets shot in the arm only. 

Barney also saves the police and the demonstrators who were about to die or be hurt by a planted booby trap – initiated by Peck, too. While the real Tallman is kept in an ambulance, Paris/Tallman publicly exposes the Peck/Tallman relationship and then (because he is shot) goes into the ambulance taking off his mask to Tallman's amazement. He and Doug convince Tallman to witness against Peck, because Tallmann owes him nothing. Tallman refers to Paris' shot-wound and is shown that he, too, got one at the same place in the arm. Tallman asks about his daughter and is told that he does not have a daughter. "Do you regret this?" Paris asks.
